Mexican Sunflower
Prepare the Mexican sunflower patterns on craft papers. Use the spiral shape to create a rolled flower pattern. Cut fringes around the outer surface of the round shape. Attach the flower patterns together criss-cross wise. Stick the round fringed cutout on the center of the flower and then stick the spiral pattern on the center of the round fringed pattern.
Peony
Trace the peony flower patterns on pink colored paper and the round shapes on yellow and black paper. Cut small and even fringes around the outer surface of the round shapes. Crumple the fringes of teh yellow shape towards teh center to form a small round shape. Create crease lines on the petals of teh peony patterns. Attach the peony patterns criss-cross wise. Attach the black pattern on the center of the flower and then attach teh yellow ball pattern on the center of the black fringed round shape.
Cosmos
Trace and cut out the cosmos flower patterns on colored craft paper of your choice and trace the strip on yellow craft paper. Use the yellow strip to make loose coil shape. Create crease lines on the cutout cosmos flower patterns, from the tip of each petal towards the center. Glue the flower patterns together criss-cross wise and then add the loose coil on the center of the flower.
Daisy
Prepare the daisy patterns on craft papers. Create crease lines on the petals from the center towards the tip of each petal. Use the spiral shape to create a rolled flower pattern. Cut fringes around the outer surface of the round shape. Attach the small flower on the big flower criss-cross wise. Stick the round fringed cutout on the center of the flower and then stick the spiral pattern on the center of the round fringed pattern.
Poppy
Trace the poppy patterns on craft papers and cut them out. Create accordion folds on the petals. Cut fringes around the outer surface of the round cutouts. Take the big round cutout and crumple the fringes towards the center to create a small ball shape. Once again, attach the flower cutouts together criss-cross wise. Attach the round fringed shape on the center and then attach the crumpled paper on the center of the black round shape.
Sunflower

Step 1
Trace and cut out the leaf patterns from green colored craft papers. Prepare teh wreath base from cardstock paper or simply use a store bought one. Place the base on a flat surface and gather all teh paper flowers and leaves.
Step 2
Apply glue on the back side of the flowers and stick them on the base. Arrange the flowers nicely on the base, try to fill the base with the paper flowers as much as possible.
Step 3
Done attaching the flowers on teh base? Now stick leaves to fill any gap between the flowers. Add as many paper leaves as you want, it’s a summer craft after all!
Once the wreath is complete, attach a hanging mechanism on the back side to complete the wreath and hang it on a wall!
